Lovely.........I am not a fan of ice cream, but that was gold medal stuff.
Does anyone remember Stanton's pop wagon? Sarsaparilla out of a brown jug like bottle....the kind they use in the US for moonshine.....Dandelion and Burdock....supposed to have tonic properties...we just drank it because it was good.

Me too ... I remember those bottles
And you did have to mention the horse and cart
... we had coal delivered by horse drawn cart ... and Basil Brierly collected scrap and junk with a horse drawn cart ... and Swale delivered milk by horse and cart ... damn it I'm gettin' old.
But no more mature
